4/13 Here we go again Angels @ Red Sox

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

See him do what? Heal? Recuperate? Start his PT program?

 

 

Yup, you make a good point. With all his recent injured history, he'd fit right in with the SOX.

Criswell looks a filler-in , not a real talent. He will have trouble getting through the 4th, but appreciate him making the trip timely and showing up.

Dalbec must be a super super likable dude. 0/28

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Angels are unique in one way. They're the only MLB team once owned by a singing cowboy.

"I'm back in the saddle again." I wish.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec must be a super super likable dude.

 

Opposing pitchers find him very likable.

Sweet AB Valdez

The Sox have too many of the same stories to pick on the Angels there. Anaheim is a good ballpark to watch a game, not a bad seat anywhere, plenty of vacant ones after the first home series, reasonable concessions by MLB pricing standards

What's the odds of late of a real talented starting pitcher being with the SOX? Sale, but that was a while ago.

Bello, who knows?

Oh! Oh! O'Hoppe.

Love me some Hamilton... that guy is a stud. Extend him now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I appreciate the Angels' manager leaving Canning in the game. Most managers aren't that nice.

[vegasbob]

Angels are showing today what happens when you don't make plays, allow extended innings, unforced errors, etc. Result is a 7-2 Sox lead

[wyo-sox]

Are the Angels this bad- are the O's that good? Who are these Sox, lol.

OK. Where's the rack?

They're into canning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tip of the cap to Chriswell. He ate 4 innngs in not a bad way.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Trout reminds me of those 'jocks' when I was in high school, who would sit in the back of the classroom and hope the teacher never asked them a question. Edited April 13, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Tough break for Bobby. At this point Dalbec's hoping to get enough time in the majors to retire with a full pension.

In 1978 Rice hit 15 triples. Edited April 13, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

The full pension vesting takes 10 years of MLB activity. Bobby has 5, but with way more than 43 days of cumulative roster time, he is qualified for a partial pension, and it's getting bigger every day he stays

10 years? That could be a stretch unless there's more expansion in MLB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In 1978 Rice hit 13 triples.

 

And he wasn't exactly a speedster. Correction: He actually hit 15 triples. He also hit 15 triples in 1977.

Mike Trout is very good a baseball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another injury? Who saw that coming? Hope he's OK.

[vegasbob]

Valdez picked off, then rolled into a pancake, injuring his wrist. Next man up.

 

As long as I'm at it, when Devers reaches his 10th day off, would the Sox have been better just calling it an IL stint? Oh yeah, there's no one to call up.

He's similar to Mantle, except for the drinking problem.

I don't know, Vegas. I've still got my old glove. Just e-mailed my name and phone number to the SOX FO. Also mentioned I'm a RH bat.

I didn't mention my age, which would have been a deal buster.

But would you take the MLB minimum ? My suggestion, keep holding out for more like you have for the last 50 years. Free advice, worked for me.

[vegasbob]

Tricky how Hamilton, Reyes and Valdez keep working themselves into the games despite what Cora tries to do to separate them. And they are blocking Devers and Grissom from coming back, or not.
